Bug#42495 updatexml: Assertion failed: xpath->context,
                     file .\item_xmlfunc.cc, line 2507
Problem:
   RelativeLocationPath can appear only after a node-set expression
   in the third and the fourth branches of this rule:
     PathExpr :: =  LocationPath
                    | FilterExpr
                    | FilterExpr '/' RelativeLocationPath
                    | FilterExpr '//' RelativeLocationPath
   XPatch code didn't check the type of FilterExpr and crashed.
Fix:
   If FilterExpr is a scalar expression
   (variable reference, literal, number, scalar function call)
   return error.

Bug#42188: crash and/or memory corruption with user variables 
           in trigger

Interchangeable calls to the mysql_change_user client function 
and invocations of a trigger changing some user variable caused 
a memory corruption and a crash.

The mysql_change_user API call forces TDH::cleanup() on a server 
that frees user variable entries.
However it didn't reset Item_func_set_user_var::entry to NULL 
because Item_func_set_user_var::cleanup() was not overloaded.
So, Item_func_set_user_var::entry held a pointer to freed memory,
that caused a crash.

The Item_func_set_user_var::cleanup method has been overloaded
to cleanup the Item_func_set_user_var::entry field.

bug#33094: Error in upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1 when table contains
triggers
and
#41385: Crash when attempting to repair a #mysql50# upgraded table
with triggers.

Problem:
1. trigger code didn't assume a table name may have
a "#mysql50#" prefix, that may lead to a failing ASSERT().
2. "ALTER DATABASE ... UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME" failed
for databases with "#mysql50#" prefix if any trigger.
3. mysqlcheck --fix-table-name didn't use UTF8 as a default
character set that resulted in (parsing) errors for tables with
non-latin symbols in their names and definitions of triggers.

Fix:
1. properly handle table/database names with "#mysql50#" prefix.
2. handle --default-character-set mysqlcheck option;
if mysqlcheck is launched with --fix-table-name or --fix-db-name
set default character set to UTF8 if no --default-character-set
option given.

Note: if given --fix-table-name or --fix-db-name option,
without --default-character-set mysqlcheck option
default character set is UTF8.

The next number (AUTO_INCREMENT) field of the table for write
rows events are not initialized, and cause some engines (innodb)
not correctly update the tables's auto_increment value.

This patch fixed this problem by honor next number fields if present.

Added cleanup of status variables to the end of binlog_database.
Re-recorded .result file to account for cleanup statement.
NOTE:  binlog.binlog_innodb also has had an FLUSH STATUS; statement added to it as well, but
adding this cleanup as a preventative measure.

Bug#36428: MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST is used before initialization

On some thread implementations, we need a fake mutex attri-
bute as a placeholder, which we define as a global variable,
"my_fast_mutexattr".  Well. that must be initialized before 
used in any mutexes, and the ordering of initializations in 
the API function  my_init()  was wrong.

Now, put my_thread_global_init(), which initializes the attri-
butes that mutexes require.

Bounds-checks and blocksize corrections were applied to user-input,
but constants in the server were trusted implicitly. If these values
did not actually meet the requirements, the user could not set change
a variable, then set it back to the (wonky) factory default or maximum
by explicitly specifying it (SET <var>=<value> vs SET <var>=DEFAULT).

Now checks also apply to the server's presets. Wonky values and maxima
get corrected at startup. Consequently all non-offsetted values the user
sees are valid, and users can set the variable to that exact value if
they so desire.

2. Avoid bad effects of bug 41925 Warning 1366 Incorrect string value:
                                  ...  for column processlist.info
3. Add poll routines which ensure that subtests meet stable scenarios.
   This does not change the sense of the subtests.
